A little help and support for all those who are about to, or are going through jaw surgery and/or braces. We all need a helping hand through these tough and aggravating times. :)
Hey everyone! I hope you have all been well... I wanted to share my experience with eating after surgery...
At first it was really awkward and difficult, I drooled on my self, and had a hard time fitting a spoon in my mouth. HOWEVER, that all changed. Thanksgiving was recently and let me just tell you, it was fabulous... my bite was different and I could notice a change. When I bit my slice of celery my teeth met and I just bit a piece off, whereas before I would bite and my teeth would not go through all the way so I would have to pull and then it would string and it would be anything but graceful! ha. It was always embarrassing. It was so cool not to have to deal with any of those once "everyday problems" which I had become a-customed to. I just love my new bite, it is incredible what the surgery did to my entire face, the structure is all around comepletly different- a wish come true...
I stumbled across a few pictures of me, pre-op, and GOSH- I look so different, a totally different person honestly!
And now...
I love my bite! Thank you Dr. Turvey and Dr. Politano! :) I am so happy!
I am getting my braces off soon- hopefully earllllly spring... before April! :) I pray it is as soon as possible! I can hardly wait!
Let me know if you have any more question guys! I will be glad to answer!
Hey everyone I wanted to give you a couple update pics- I will be doing a huge post about my jaw- and all sorts of stuff soon- I just have to find time- DON'T WE ALL??? haha. :)
And I had my FIRST Thanksgiving without an underbite! YAYAYAYA... (more on that later I promise) haha...
I usually would have been angry for a side pic like this, but this year I LOVE IT! :)
I could eat everything with ease! Even ate some celery and it didn't get all stringy! :)
So this post is not really about my jaw, or my teeth (I promise I will answer your questions in my next post), however do not disregard this...
I currently am working to raise $6,000 dollars in order to fund 1,000 bibles to the persecuted Christians of India. Did you realize that every 3 minutes a Christian is martyred? If not, now you know, and you are aware, which makes you responsible to do something about it.
I am going to be raising money for this cause:
1.) Through donations, from generous people like YOU!
2.) Sponsorships
3.) My Benefit Concert, UNBOUND.
So you may want to know a little bit about my benefit concert, I am going to be hosting it November 13th, and I have recording artists, Day of Grace, The Alter, Written in Red, and The RETURN coming out! I am thrilled! It is going to be a rocking night and I will be raising the money as well!
As you can see in this picture, the red represent the Bibles that have been sponsored already by generous organizations, however the blue represents how many are still waiting for God's Word to reach them! You can help change that by Donating to Project UNBOUND!
Please consider giving a generous donation to this project! It is going to be impacting thousands of persecuted Christians, and inspiring others to make a change! Even a simple donation of $5 helps get closer to my goal! I know with the help of bloggers like you guys I can do it! Also if you have a business, and would like to sponsor the benefit concert and project with $100 + you will be considered an "official sponsor" and you will get your company name on the back of the shirt, and the shirts are the tickets into the concert! So it is great advertisement!
If you would like to sponsor, email me at kpiso@nc.rr.com... If you would like to contribute by purchasing a t-shirt please email me as well, they are $20 plus shipping an handling... and are SUPER cool (I can email you the design if you are interested)...
AND If you would like to donate, Do NOT hesitate! Do it now...
Thanks soooo much! I knew I could count on my awesome bloggers!
